GLUTGAMEMODEGET(3)

💖 glutGameModeGet — bestie, lemme hand you a game mode value 💖

okay so this is glutGameModeGet, and it lives in the OpenGLUT fam, specifically in the gamemode corner of it. You ask it for a game mode parameter, it gives you the number back. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

int
glutGameModeGet(GLenum pname);

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• pname — the parameter value you want back, girl. that's the ask.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so pname has to be one of these bad boys, no substitutes:

• GLUT_GAME_MODE_ACTIVE — returns non-zero if we are presently in gamemode. like, are we in it rn? yes or no energy.
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_POSSIBLE — returns whether the requested gamemode settings are viable. (it may also actually change the mode?? 🙈) and jsyk, it doesn't necessarily tell you whether entering gamemode will have any effect. so don't read too much into it, bestie.
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_WIDTH — returns the game mode width. (in pixels 📐)
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_HEIGHT — returns the game mode height. (in pixels 📐)
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_PIXEL_DEPTH — returns the game mode pixel depth. (in bits ✨)
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_REFRESH_RATE — returns the game mode vertical refresh frequency. (in Hz 🌀)
• GLUT_GAME_MODE_DISPLAY_CHANGED — returns non-zero if we are presently in gamemode. (same as GLUT_GAME_MODE_ACTIVE, literally the same thing fr fr 🫶)

⚠️ and if pname is unknown?? a warning gets printed and a value of -1 comes back at you. so if you see -1 just know that's the "idk her" response. 💀

🚧 TODO 🚧

• Documentation
• OpenGLUT intrepretation of GLUT_GAME_MODE_DISPLAY_CHANGED

(not me just copying the to-do list verbatim, but like, it IS the to-do list 💀 the maintainers said what they said)

and that's the whole page, bestie 🦋 go forth and query your game mode. this icon was served up by OpenGLUT - gamemode, and the lil footer gremlins left it as UNDATED and UNTITLED() — mysterious, iconic, no notes. periodt. 👑💜
